This is true for film cameras but may be even more acute of a danger for digital cameras. Now I understand that a little water or a lot of water is not the issue -- any water that gets inside and touches the wrong parts while the camera is on is a problem. Sigh. It's an expensive lesson to learn that I hope others will learn before a similar fate ends their cameras' life.
